I'd be a little careful here.
Boss said he would "value your commitment" for the summer span. By replying and saying anything in the affirmative, will the company consider this an informal agreement in lieu of the (upcoming) written contract?
tldr: if you reply yes, will they take it as a verbal contract?
I wouldn't say anything yes or no, perhaps something along the lines of "when a contract is ready to be presented to me in writing, I'd be happy to review it." And nothing else.
- Casseres 10y agoI don't think a reasonable business person would see that hypothetical e-mail exchange as something to count on. I think the boss is just trying to guarantee he/she will have a good worker if the deal happens. An emotionally-invested person might consider the e-mail as an agreement, but such person shouldn't expect a worker to sacrifice his/her future opportunities for a risk like this.
- eb0la 10y agoLooks like they are budgeting / sending an offer and having a $22/hr labor cost is an advantage. Dont' tell them lies unless you have to. Just say thanks for counting with me or something similar; but _keep_ looking just because, shit might happen and you'll need to put food on the table anyway.
